Uillean Sound Poem by Liam ó Comáin

Uillean Sound



(For all whose roots
are in Ireland)

Uillean sound
Permeating
The depths
Of my person.

Drawing me
To my roots on
A western isle.

Passed on,
Generation by
Generation,
Expressing
A nation’s spirit.

Named and
Renamed,
Carried by ear
Through
The passage
Of the years.

Sound touching
A receptive mind,
Bringing a lilt
To my lips and
A lightness to
My feet, in the
Spirit of my people.
